Fast Buck One (Ready to hang)

I was asked if I was interested in painting a version of this wine label. Initially I said no. Then I thought about it, and with a bit more time on my hands, I was piqued with curiosity at how I'd handle this task and the problem-solving elements (note the huge amounts of text). So I did it anyway.
My apologies to the initiator of this idea that I didn't give it longer thought. I have never tried this wine, so I did some research. What an interesting culture it has built around it. Loved by many and a nostalgic trip back to drinking with mates in the woodshed - or wherever. So I figured there might be a few people who have this wine in their background, and who may also be interested in viewing my boozy version of the label.
I've already started another artwork featuring this label. Then I'm probably done.

The sides are painted in the same colours used on the front of the canvas. This painting has a wire across the back and is ready to hang.

Elle S is my space for creative freedom — a place to experiment, play, and explore without boundaries. Free from the expectations of my main studio practice, I create works that move fluidly between texture, colour, and form. Each painting is part of an ongoing conversation between intuition and control, discovery and familiarity.
Here you’ll find a mix of earthy, Australian-inspired tones and bold contemporary compositions — artworks that feel fresh, spontaneous, and full of quiet energy. They’re made to bring curiosity, warmth, and a sense of life into modern spaces.
New works are usually released on a Thursday evening.
